Guess who’s got three thumbs and just got fired for stealing from the morgue?
Here on E Street, we are heartbroken over the death of Glen Hansard. We met in Ireland many years ago and he was always nothing but a great musician, a good friend and a generous and gracious man. Always positive, smiling and ready to sing. God bless him and his loved ones. Bruce
Going to force my wife to see these purely so I can say "I'm not as big a fan of VLURE as you are." www.latitudefestival.com/artists/vlure/

Been showing the kids The Day Today and had completely forgotten Minnie Driver was in it (and indeed Knowing Me, Knowing You).
Well, I'd like to see ol England throw away THIS lead! *England throw away the lead easily Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

The Italians really ought to copy this to celebrate Gaius Duilius training his crews on land before actual ships were available against the Carthaginians.
Dexerto@dexerto.bsky.social · 4w agoA Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup "It’s factually wrong; they didn’t row, they sailed over the Atlantic”
Cover and three interior illustrations by Lívia Rusz for a 1976 Romanian edition of Tolkien’s THE HOBBIT.
Noah Wyle should star in a Messi biopic about a man who lives for his work and is reluctant to leave because he believes everything will fall apart without him.
Begging your pardon my prince, it seems Vhagar has been sighted leaving King’s Landing flying in the direction of the the Riverlands… PARKLIFE
I think the refereeing at this tournament has been both philosophically and technically quite good.
oh my god just realised England - Mexico's the Bean Derby
Aww, it’s work experience week so I’ve had the opportunity to watch my son file his first IT support ticket and do his first Teams call.
The problem with soul searching is all the stuff you find in there.
Just absolute magic. My deepest hope is that we end up with a huge pile of new Epicurean texts from this work. It’s been terrible for humanity that so much Stoic bullshit has survived unchallenged. scrollprize.org/firstscroll
An entire Herculaneum scroll has been read for the first time
PHerc. 1667, sealed since the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, has been virtually unwrapped and read from beginning to end — without ever being opened.

I like that we’re following the OSR philosophy of rulings not rules in this World Cup.
The current state of our Woody doll.
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · last mo.It is funny that Disney sells Toy Story branded toys so that you can buy an actual Woody the Cowboy for children and they can eventually leave them forgotten in a closet and know they’ve caused a sentient loving being extreme emotional pain
Usual objections to fandom slop, but the Marvel set seems fun. Very long, slow games, means you get to do fun things in pretty much any colour combination. Beat two teamworked Atlantis Attacks in one game with a Vision Quest for M.O.D.O.K.
Bought a print sub and some back issues of this recently and it's packed with interviews with top creators, great art, and lots of interesting cultural and historical context. Every issue is high production quality and more than 100 pages. You're crazy if you're not at least picking the PDFs up.
Wyrd Science Magazine@wyrdscience.bsky.social · last mo.Much as I, obviously, hate being all "Rich Uncle" Pennybags here, I guess we should probably try & sell some magazines this week, & preferably ours So hey, if you want a truly independent gaming media that treats you like fully rounded, grown up humans & pays artists & writers then step right up...
With our seventh Prime Minister in a decade, perhaps it’s worth revisiting the one demand of the original People’s Charter that was never made law: annual parliaments.
Radical Poster Collective@radicalposters.bsky.social · last mo.Yesterday one of our followers shared a poster created in 1842 demanding justice following the death of Samuel Holberry, who led an attempted Chartist rebellion in Sheffield in 1840. We've spent a bit of time recreating it - not perfectly matched fonts but gives us an excuse to talk about Holberry!
Belgium nearly scoring with a Platt-vs-Belgium there, nice.
My nine year old asked for a Rosetta Stone cake for his birthday
People have this intuitive belief that below a certain threshold, xG sums to zero. I guess it's the flipside of the belief that above a certain threshold, all chances should be scored.
Solaris. Human psychologist Kris Kelvin arrives alone on a space station to study Solaris' alien sea. The aliens are all Muppets at the beach, talking perfectly understandable English but Kelvin finds them completely inexplicable. He starts to hallucinate his dead ex-lover, Miss Piggy.

Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · 2mo ago1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.
